: ron: You say you have planes. For my solution to the same problem, I put a
: 24" plane upside down in a vice and pulled strips across the blade
: while holding the strip with a gloved hand over the plane. I could then
: vary the bevel angle with the gloved hand, while pulling the strip through
: with the other. - Just a thought. - Scott

I made a low tech beveler that work well. I had a picture but can't find it. I took a 2"x6"x10'board and table sawed a grove length wise to hold a 1/4" wide strip with 1/4" sticking up in the air to be planed. I nailed a side fence to the 2x6 to guide my jack plane. I put a 2"x2" 8' stiffener board under neath the 10 footer and set this on saw horses. This cut a 5 degree angle very quickly. For a 7 1/2 drgree cut I slid a 1/4"x3/4" strip next to the fence for my jack plane to guide against. For a 10 degree cut I put a 1/4" strip in my holding grove and set my strip on top of this to be planed. I blue chalked the edge to be planed so I could easily see how much I was planing off. Once I was use to this set up, it only took a minute or two to angle an edge.
